A quote I recently enjoyed: "You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, She is beautiful because you love her

I have actually been here a while, some of y'all have too .. I've met a few really great people & made a few wonderful friends ... I think maybe I have been here so long because I have fairly high standards and am not looking for just a hookup - combined with a little shyness that makes it difficult for me to make initial contact...So if interested in getting to know me just say Hi! :)

I read this and ... well it speaks for itself :) . . . In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were afraid to have & the decisions we waited too long to make.

How about we get past a casual meet n greet see if we connect well enough to get to know each other better and go giggle at some kereoke, take a Drive or Ride day trip somewhere neat and see something new to one or both of us, some mild hiking activity would be great ..Pretty Much Anything Outdoors .. Catch a festival here & there ... a car, horse or turtle race ( don't knock it till you've tried it .. & you gotta byot ;) ...

So now you are thinking she's kinda spunky & cute I wonder what she is about .. might like to meet her ..

first of all .. I am a complete person ... do not need you to complete me lol ... I do not smoke, do not do drugs & can count the # of drinks I have in a year on both hands ..well usually this year may be hands & feet lol ..I am real do not play games & am not looking to start .. I am honest, hardworking, loyal, caring, family oriented.. I can cook, grill & bake ( yes they are different lol)

If you would pre-judge me for where I am in life today I am not for you! I use to make over 200k a yr doing hair in cali ( not my current situation as I am starting over from ground zero but working my way back towards that) Ya see I lost everything to the economic meltdown while I was still in cali & am starting over.. I am not looking for a rescue... don't need that at all ... so unsaddle the steed & get out of that silly metal suit lol

We all have a life story... What fun would we be without one?? ... that generally comes with some baggage ...please limit it to a backpack or carry-on .. if you have family I am certain at times there is some drama in your life ... We all have to deal with it at times even me ... Just don't let it consume you... if you need a sounding board I am in just don't use me for a punching bag & I will return the favor ...

I am generally attracted to TALL Men 6'+ always have been. That doesn't mean don't talk to me if you are 5'10" we may get along great :) I may just have to adjust the height of the heels I buy :) Maybe I just like to feel short n sexy in heels ... it's a me thing ....

I am not attracted to men of color never have been! & I am not prejudice just stating the facts - I have friends of all races and religions ..

Please don't make the 2 previous statements a personal challenge .... It's nothing personal .. We all have preferences likes and dislikes ... If your profile stated you hate red hair I would simply move on not try to change your idea of what you want ;)

Speaking of religion - I am a Christian woman, my beliefs are very strong although I do not "Go To Church" I think I lean more towards deep spiritual connection rather than bible thumper .. Do not try to impose your views on me and I will return the respect level .. If you wish to try to change me or save me I will convert you! LoL I use to be a Damselfish til they changed all the options - now I am a TreeHugger why you ask?? Have you ever been to the redwoods? OMG! And I want to find the man whos kiss speaks to my soul like the RedWoods do when they creak and moan from distances you can't quite make out! Enough Said!

Still reading wanna know more lol .. GREAT :o)

This is where I had all the warm fuzzies& about me details I felt I should share ... Was accused of being far too verbose ... maybe that's true :) so if you wanna know more .. Message me & we can go from there

little snippits from the old profile ..

Does not want children does not mean I dont like them .. Love them have 2 daughters 2 grandsons & a granddaughter - yep thats right .. Can not have any more .. But at 47 think that would be ?!@#€¥ Nutz!! ..

For now I really am looking for friends to just enjoy little snippits of life with NOT FWB's just to make that clear .. . I am not looking for an instant bf or a fb! to clarify that and avoid further assumptions!

I do not want turkeys in peacock suits, if he is remotely pretending to be something he is not I ask he please feel free to take a long hike - just not with me. .

Contact me ..If you are looking for a friend ..or something more meaningful & are able to communicate your thoughts feelings goals & dreams ... so many people put their dreams aside thinking they can't reach them or don't deserve them ... if you are not afraid to reach for what you want in life., if you can live your personal dreams independently of me or mine, if you have the desire to share common dreams and goals, if you are someone who is capable of allowing me a little space & the freedom to pursue my personal dreams! IF you are Honest ! ! ! Trustworthy & genuinely a good person.

First Date

Hopefully the start of a Great friendship at the very least. Lets have a casual meet n greet ... Iced beverage, hot tea... See if we have a connection & go from there.

Accepting applications for life partner, Apply in person. All applications will initially be filed as friends. We will know pretty quickly if your application will be accepted or shredded.If further review seems reasonably necessary to see if you are the one I seek I will include a trial period of dating exclusivity for us to get to know each other without the distraction of other people, should it be decided we are just not a good fit for each other your application may or may not be moved back to the friend file. If accepted & solidified with a contract verbal or otherwise all perks and benefits will then be made available. There are a few absolutes that are required for this relationship level. You must truely want to be loved by a one man woman & be a one woman man. You must have a kiss that speaks to my soul like the redwoods do. Must love touch. If I allow you to get this close trust me you will not hunger for affection, but it can't be a one way deal. Show me you truely want me and you will want for nothing. If you have made it this far, still wanna know more message me now :) lol ... By our very nature sadly we all are fueled visually. Not that we are all shallow, some are yes, but what is attractive to one may not be to another. A good example - you & I out for a walk on the beach collecting shells or stones ... Would we be drawn to the same ones?! ... Probably not however we would probably each find one special one that was worth the search ... There are alot of us here who are looking for that rare one individual, it can take meeting many to find him or her. The one with the spark who lights us up, puts the bounce in our step, sparkle in our eye, the grin on our lips ... I am on that path searching I only want one great find. So if there is anything in my profile that makes you think hey I might like to get to know this one. Send up a smoke signal :)
